In order to promote cashless economy, the government has said it will bear the transaction cost for all payments made to it through debit or credit cards and net banking.
At present, customers bear the transaction cost commonly known as merchant discount rate (MDR) on payments made to the government.
"Government departments shall take appropriate steps to bear MDR cost like other merchants. The public shall not bear any MDR cost for making payment to government through debit cards or credit cards or digital means," said the office memorandum issued by the Finance Ministry.
It further said the methodology for reimbursement of such payment to intermediaries on transactions involving debt/credit cards or digital means is being worked out and the detailed guidelines and operational modalities would be issued in due course.
